The Stout has a rich history with the first stouts being produced in the 1730s. The Russian Imperial Stout which is currently massively popular in the American craft beer culture was created in the early 1800s in trying to curry favor with the Russian Czar. A hardy, strong style created for a hardy, strong people.

The most popular of which were Guinness Draught, Founder’s Breakfast Stout, Old Rasputin, Left Hand’s Milk Stout, and Brooklyn Brewery’s Chocolate Stout; all amazing yet disparate stout offerings.
